| Overhauling mid-career security/networking resume... am I on the right track? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 09:43 AM PDT I was feeling like my resume was a bit stale, maybe didn't highlight my skills in an easily consumable way. In any event, I wasn't getting a terrific response from it. I'm just looking to see if I seem to be on the right track here. My goal is to get my specific skills to be highlighted, and to ensure I'm being clear about key accomplishments. I typically do a bit of tweaking to highlight specific skills for specific jobs. I'm also curious if I should bring my certifications up to the top of the document somewhere, or if they're okay where they are - underneath my experience. Lastly, I have a job I have left out entirely on the resume, because it was part-time (non-IT) work at a law firm while I was in school. Does that seem reasonable, or should I be including it there? Any other thoughts? First page of my new resume (I will basically be dropping the rest of my old resume into the new format, in the same order) [link] [comments]  |

| 2nd Interview for Entry Level PC Tech Next Week -Questions Posted: 17 Aug 2019 09:51 AM PDT I have a second interview for a PC Tech position with my towns school district, and I was wondering what else should I expect or what skills should I possess to be considered or those who are PC Techs, what special skills help you in your job? (I am an IT student) In the application, this is what they say:

| Leaders/ bosses - does team member turnover worry you? Posted: 17 Aug 2019 07:53 AM PDT Suppose you just set up your team or you already have a team; assume perhaps you'd lose 1-2 or 2-3 members per year. Does turnover like this or for any reason make you worry/ insecure about your leadership/ managerial skill? Suppose your boss gave some hints (perhaps questioning ot wondering) about the team's turnover status; would that make you worry? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Aug 2019 07:03 AM PDT Hi there. Long time lurker. I've wanted to work in IT for a few years, and had been working slowly towards that goal. I spent 18 months working on a degree in cybersecurity. I passed the A+ 901-902 exams earlier this year, and got my first helpdesk job between taking the 2 exams. My prior professional experience consisted of mostly customer service, and about a year of PC refurbishing. I was really excited about this helpdesk job, but I quickly discovered that helping someone troubleshoot over the phone was not my particular skill set. Granted, training was blown through in half the time it was supposed to have, so maybe I just wasn't prepared. I only lasted about 6 weeks before I quit. The anxiety of not being able to help people quickly left me hanging up on calls and just walking out for the day. The whole ordeal killed my confidence, and I've now changed my major in school and have gone back to working retail. Has anyone ever experienced anything even kind of similar in the start of their IT careers? Or does anyone have advice on a different type of position that doesn't involve sitting on the phone all day? Maybe I just picked a field in not suited for, but I really don't want to give up on it.

| Is it possible to get a job in IT above minimum wage with a useless, unrelated degree? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 12:50 PM PDT I have a useless degree and I've been trying to move past minimum wage for a few years now. I took the CompTIA A+ exam which didn't seem to help. I put it on my resume and haven't had any luck getting interviews. Would a CCNA cert help too? I work in a supermarket right now, should I lie and make up an IT-related position to get me past the initial filters? Do you guys have any advice ? [link] [comments]  |
| Passed CISSP & looking for next step Posted: 16 Aug 2019 05:10 PM PDT My employer's education program took care of my $699 bill for CISSP exam. Now I'm looking at other things I could do while the knowledge is still fresh. Any other certs that I'd be able to pass pretty much automatically with my knowledge? I'm kind of interested in doing more pentesting longer-term and may pursue the CCSP or just screw around on my own because it seems like a lot of fun, but for now I'm all revved up for some super-exciting multiple choice tests!

| I'm into IT but not problem-solving Posted: 17 Aug 2019 12:30 AM PDT I don't hate math and I'm really into the syntax of programming languages and learning about features of the IT, how do computers work at all levels etc., but I don't like the problem-solving part, where I have to come up with the algorithm, essentially I don't like turning on that part of the brain that does the kind of thinking that hurts for a day job. What's the right career path for me? [link] [comments]  |
| What is an average salary for someone with a few certifications and a degree entry level? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 11:46 PM PDT I'm currently starting up my A.S. degree and will have all the basic Comptia certs (A+, network, security), MCSA: Windows server cert, and I will possiblly self teach myself for the CCENT/CCNA by the time I complete it. We are also helped in finding an internship, which counts towards our credit. I was just wondering what one would generally fetch for that amount of college/certs/experience? Getting the certs is optional in my degree but I plan on getting every single one i'm taught for. Anything else I should attempt? [link] [comments]  |
| I want to move from Corp. Helpdesk to on site schools/hospitals. Posted: 16 Aug 2019 03:55 PM PDT I'm currently a month into my first real IT job as a IT support Specialist/Helpdesk. We support a company which has atleast 3k users. I've come to realize that I have no desire to spend my career working anything close to large corporate IT. I could probably easily move up within my company but I have just no desire to stay in that type of environment. I think for the future I want to set my sights on working for a school or maybe a hospital. I think this would provide me with a decent amount of fulfillment in my everyday work with still providing enough income to sustain my financial needs. The question is, what skills do I need to focus on developing and what other points can I use to set myself apart in the application and interview process? I want to start planning and preparing now as this current job has already gotten to the point that I can't stand it so the quicker I can move on to something that I look forward to every day the better. I've also had several coworkers tell me that I'm the most knowledgeable on the team and they are glad I'm there to help them when they need it. I enjoy helping them, I just don't like how my company or the one I work for goes about doing business. [link] [comments]  |
| B.S. in I.T. and/or Security+ certificate for cybersecurity leadership career. Posted: 16 Aug 2019 10:38 PM PDT I am wondering how the CompTIA security+ certificate compares to the B.S. in I.T. I will get next spring. Is it redundant, or does it give good padding to one's I.T. degree? I understand that the CISSP/CISM requires a lot of experience, so I assume that would be a good thing to attain in the future. Are there other certifications I should look into? I would hate to spend hours prepping for a test that cost hundreds of dollars for redundant resume fodder. My school also has focus areas, which I chose security as mine, so would I just need to learn how to spin that instead? Any other advice would be great too. [link] [comments]  |

| Advice for applying for a Linux Sys Admin position with no experience Posted: 16 Aug 2019 10:42 AM PDT Hello! I realize this is a pretty bad situation but I do have some things going for me. I have worked as a Windows sys admin (very different I know) for over two years and have some experience with Linux web app deployment. The job is with a university of which I am an alumnus. I am very comfortable with Linux, server configuration, and networking essentials. I am looking for advice as to how I might market myself to play to these strengths and how I might leverage my Windows sys admin experience to my benefit with the hiring manager. Any ideas on services or concepts I can research/name-drop would be helpful. I believe the majority of their systems run on CentOS or Rehl. Please let me know if you have any more questions about the position and/or if there are questions I should, but don't know, to ask! This is my dream job and I know I will be dedicated and dependable if I can just land it! Thanks :D Edit: Be harsh if you feel you must. I'd rather be called out for gaps in my knowledge here than when I'm in an interview [link] [comments]  |
| What programming languages are useful in IT? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 03:31 PM PDT Currently studying for my A+ and I was wondering what langauge will be beneficial in my IT career? My goal is to land a help desk job and move up the ladder and later go into Networking. What language would be good to learn? I read scripting languages will help like Python or PowerShell. You guys here who have experience and knowledge, can I get some tips. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2019 07:03 PM PDT I have no knowledge of i.t in anyway, but I want to learn and get a nice career with it. What do I start with? What do I look into? Some people said school, and others no. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2019 01:05 PM PDT Hi, I have been working on IT for about a year and 3 months. I take care of local users, sometimes I do escalated support from IT in other countries, and several other tasks (Exchange admin, AD tasks, citrix, office, some vmware, among other stuff). I work for a relatively big company, and being trilingual help dealing with our sites in Brazil and South/Central America countries. I have a mentor here (super smart guy) that trained me well for the position, I was able to learn about all what I do here partially because of him, even though the first 3 months I was on my own. I received an offer from our IT director to either go to Sharepoint or Financial Management (budget) for OPEX, etc. I am definitely not a financial management guy, I would rather go to sharepoint, which seems to be more fun. My real questions are: In how long can I learn Sharepoint? Is it worth it (is it going to open future opportunities or is it a dying market)? Before receiving this opportunity, I was leaning towards either Data Science or Cybersecurity, because I don't see myself staying on IT forever (it can be a pain in the ass some days/weeks). For both DS and Cybersecurity, I have been doing studies on my own, but trying to see if I like either one of them. Now with this third option, which seems to be a fun, and maybe profitable field, I might consider giving it a shot. Anyone in Sharepoint? Sorry for the English, just ate, and I am kind of sleepy.

| Any advice for getting a part time IT job at 17? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 10:14 AM PDT Hi everyone, I am a current IT student going into my senior year of high school. Current I just passed my A+ last month and am planning on gaining my CCNA by the end of the year and hopefully my Security+ by the end of the school year. Its a no brainer to do this since my tech school reimburses any certification I pass. But for now I actually want to focus on getting a IT job and more relevant experience outside of my class. Also I am currently employed as a dishwasher at minimum wage with no real upward mobility at my job so there is really no better time than now. My only problem is that I do not feel like I have very many opportunities until I turn 18 in December. It also does not help in the Southern MD area most jobs are through contractors which requires me to be full time/ have clearance which I can not gain yet. Overall what direction should I look for as someone who wants to get a part-time IT job? [link] [comments]  |
| Is Maine Techhire's IT Bootcamp (through UMA) Worth It? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 06:58 PM PDT So Maine's techhire (where I am) just downgraded its IT training assistance from individualized, paid training to non-personalized, university bootcamp. Last week. The local head (whom I spoke with this morning) told me that he doesn't know what my TOSCA Level 2 certificate (for advanced automation software) even is and said I'm not eligible for hiring if I don't have a computer science degree or prior work experience. I have a degree in Political Science and Economics. Should I trust the services of an IT bootcamp if it's grant funds are due to run out within a year? [link] [comments]  |

| Company changed my job title after signing offer? Posted: 16 Aug 2019 05:11 PM PDT I'm planned to start this Monday (8/19), but recently received an email at the end of the workday today saying that HR made a mistake and they are changing my job title from "Junior System Administrator" to "Support Analyst." (I had already signed and sent back the offer) Pay and Responsibilities are the same, but can't help but feel with the timing (difficult to negotiate the sudden change on a weekend..) that there might have been an ulterior motive to this decision. Regardless, do you all think there is anything worth in insisting to keep the title, or should I just let it slide? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2019 04:48 PM PDT Hi, I'm a fresh year student to IT/IS. I was studying systems analysis and design, and got this question. In SDLC waterfall model, it starts with systems planning that begins with a formal request to IT department. Who usually raises this system request and why? [link] [comments]  |
